Diego Aponte is UMES’s steady middle-of-the-order bat with a polished left-handed profile
In the 2025 season, Diego Aponte hit .304 with 14 doubles, 2 home runs, 29 RBI, 20 walks, and a .802 OPS for Maryland Eastern Shore, then kept driving offense in 2026 with timely RBI hits and a two-run homer in conference play. His calling card is balance: he’s a left-handed first baseman who puts the ball in play, draws walks, and brings dependable defense, backed by a strong track record as a multi-time NEC weekly honoree. If you want a mature, contact-oriented corner infielder who can still punish mistakes, he’s a very sensible fit.
